Chapter 10 — Once I don't hold back, your whole family has to pay the price

Luc Trach's words... were like a warm stream flowing into my heart, melting all the cold and insecure ice inside me. He said… he believed me. Just that one sentence... carries more weight than all the comforting words in the world. The corners of my eyes heated up, I almost couldn't control it. But I blinked hard, forcing the tears back. Now… is not the time to be weak. Chu Minh declared war. I have to fight back.

“I need your help.”

I looked at Luc Trach, my voice decisive. He replied neatly.

“I need the law firm to issue an official announcement to clarify the truth.”

“At the same time, I will officially sue Chu Minh for defamation.”

“I need the legal team to help collect evidence.”

“Trace the IP of the post, confirm that the person who posted it is him.”

"Take the entire transfer history I gave to the Chu family, evidence of Chu Dong's theft of the gold bracelet, and all the developments in this high-interest loan case."

“I want to make it all public.”

“I want everyone to see clearly… what the so-called ‘victim’ really is.”

I speak quickly, but every thought is clear. Anger... has now turned into sharp reason. After listening, Luc Trach's eyes showed appreciation. This is the Lam Thu I know. Don't fall. No whining. But immediately tried to counterattack. Calm, logical… and aggressive. He nodded.

“The company announcement, I will write it myself.”

“The legal team will assist you in collecting all evidence.”

“The communications department will contact the platforms, ensuring our voice is spread.”

He stopped for a beat.

“And the lawyer representing you…”

He gently pushed his glasses, the corners of his lips curled up.

“I accept this case myself.”

I stopped. Hang Thien's top lawyer... personally handled a defamation case after divorce. This... is like using a cannon to shoot mosquitoes.

“Is that… is it too much…”

I stammered. His eyes turned cold.

“This is no small matter.”

“Chu Minh's behavior did not only attack her.”

"But it also insults Hang Thien's expertise... and my professional honor."

“To this kind of provocation… we must respond thoroughly.”

“Not just winning.”

“Must win beautifully.”

"Let everyone understand... what the price will be if you touch Hang Thien's person."

Each of his sentences fell, firm and full of pressure. My heart... was suddenly filled with a strange feeling. It's excitement. Is grateful. It's... an unprecedented feeling of peace of mind. This time, I am no longer alone. Behind me… is a whole wall.

“Thank you…”

My voice trembled slightly.

"No need."

He walked over, reached out his hand... gently wiped away the tears at the corner of my eyes. Very light movement. But it's so gentle that it makes people lose their rhythm. The distance between us is so close that... I can smell the scent of agarwood on his body. My face… was hot. He seemed to realize that and quickly retracted his hand. The atmosphere in the room... became strange.

“What you need to do now is maintain a stable state.”

He returned to his usual calm tone.

“Focus on work and the case.”

“Don't read dirty things on the internet, don't let nonsense people affect your mood.”

“Let me take care of the rest.”

I nodded vigorously. Stepping out of his room, every step I took... was as steady as before. It's still gloomy outside. But in my world… there was light. You want to destroy me. But I'll show you… I do From the ruins he created... how brilliantly reborn. This war— has only just begun. Hang Thien's speed of action... is so fast that it makes people dizzy. Before I could fully digest what Luc Trach had just said, the head of the communications department knocked on the door and entered. She is a neat, decisive middle-aged woman with sharp eyes, working like a wind that never slows down. The three of us sat right in Luc Trach's room, holding an emergency meeting, each step was clearly arranged, without the slightest disturbance.

"I have finished drafting the notice. Lawyer Luc has a look at it."

She gave him the tablet. Luc Trach scanned quickly, only correcting a few words, but the aura immediately changed, sharp and unquestionable. Content is concise and clear. First, confirm that you and I are just a normal superior-subordinate relationship. Second, clearly point out that Chu Minh's article is false and maliciously slanderous. Third, ask him to delete the post and publicly apologize immediately. Fourth, Hang Thien retains all rights to legal prosecution. Finally... is the bright red seal of the law firm and Luc Trach's signature. An announcement... enough to make people wary.

“Okay, post now.”

He returned the tablet.
